Do both seats recline, or only one?

Both seats are power reclining, each with its own motor and control. That makes it a true two-person recliner rather than a sofa with one reclining end.

Is it real leather or leatherette?

It mixes leather and leatherette, so expect genuine leather on some panels and a synthetic match on others. The synthetic areas are the ones most likely to wear or peel first.

Does it need to sit away from the wall?

Yes. The backrests tilt backward when reclined, so leave clearance behind the sofa. It is not a wall-hugger design.

How does it compare with a manual reclining loveseat?

Power recline is smoother and easier to operate, especially for people with limited strength. A manual loveseat costs less, has fewer parts to fail and needs no outlet.

What should I check before buying?

Confirm the seat width fits your room, that an outlet reaches the motors, and how the leather and leatherette panels are split. Ask about the motor warranty too.
